John,
I know that you, as a friend of The Trust for Public Land, will surely be interested to support our innovative Community Schoolyards™ projects that I’ve highlighted in my previous emails and help us build and renovate parks across the nation.
Too many people in America … 100 million … including 28 million kids …don’t have a quality park close to home. And The Trust for Public Land is seeking to change this by creating and renovating schoolyards into great public parks in communities that need them most.
With your support, we know our plan will work, because we’ve already successfully transformed nearly 300 barren asphalt schoolyards into great public parks ... more than 200 of these playgrounds were across the five boroughs in New York City … putting a quality park within a 10-minute walk of more than four million New Yorkers.
We want to expand the success in New York City to more communities across the nation, but to succeed, we urgently need your financial assistance today.
Too many families across the nation lack access to quality parks and open spaces that are essential to our health and quality of life. Community Schoolyards projects are a critical part of our mission to create land for people and a major part of our commitment to close the park equity gap in communities across the country.
John, will you do your part to help us expand the success of these efforts beyond New York City by making a tax-deductible contribution now?
Due to the efficiency of our process, The Trust for Public Land is able to create $3 for parks for every $1 that is contributed, so please be as generous as you can.
But time is running out on our immediate goal of raising $50,000 by the end of the month to aid the next community in need. This is just the first step toward our ultimate objective to improve park access for 6 million people by creating green, vibrant schoolyards that will serve kids and adults alike. But our success is directly tied to the support we gain from committed individuals like you.
Please support this initiative, as well as The Trust for Public Land’s many other efforts to bring parks and greenspaces to underserved communities across America, by giving a generous, tax-deductible contribution today.
Sincerely,
Kim Elliot
Director of Membership
